Over the weekend I stopped by World Market to check out their sales. I had a $10 off $40 coupon from the World Market Explorer program and I wanted to pick up a few things for our newly renovated family room. I found some super cute patterned cloth napkins and thought they would be just the thing to brighten up our rather drab, hand-me-down couch.

I choose these lovely patterned napkins with florals and birds (the Whippoorwill pattern). My daughter pointed at the birds and tried to bark, so I had to go for them.

There are lots of other pretty patterns though!

If you get a napkin with a lace trim, like the vintage floral on the right, you can just remove the trim with a seam ripper and incorporate in the place of piping on the pillow!

They go really well with the storage boxes I found on sale on the same World Market shopping trip…

…which have now found a place on the Expedit entertainment unit (now discontinued from IKEA).

And no, I haven’t really fully arranged the books and accessories yet. Chris still has to anchor the unit to the wall, and then I’ll really get my style on. In the meantime, there are a few random things (like the TV mount) sitting on the shelves.

Remember that Modern Family episode where Phil procrastinates anchoring the cabinet to the wall and then it falls during an earthquake? I feel like we might be heading for a repeat of that episode…

HAHAHA we LOVE modern family!! 25 minutes straight of laughs. Your place looks amazing, is that your backyard in the garden party picture?? It’s incredible!!! wow you guys have done a great job with the place, keep posting!! 🙂 🙂 I’ve started more baking and I want to pick up sewing (got a 2nd hand machine online like half a year ago… maybe a year ago) but I don’t even know where to start!!
